Writing VST and native Audio plugins in AssemblyScript? about javascriptmusic HOT 2 CLOSED

@petersalomonsen Thank you for the answer! I will be digging and exploring more, who knows, maybe eventually I will come up with some tool or library to really making cross-platform audio plugins with AssemblyScript. Cheers to you Peter, I'm following your work very tight and learning a lot from it, so thank you for this too! :)

Yes, indeed this is possible.

Actually if using the AssemblyScript midisynth ( https://github.com/petersalomonsen/javascriptmusic/blob/master/wasmaudioworklet/synth1/assembly/midi/midisynth.ts#L208 ) you have methods like shortMessage which accepts regular midi note on/note off, control changes etc. And there's a fillSampleBuffer method that can be used for each render callback (will fill 128 frames of audio data).

The exported wasm files from the webassembly music web app already expose these methods and so they can be used directly in a VST or audiounit by converting them to c (using wasm2c). You could also use them from webassembly runtimes like nodejs or via python like you say. @vshymanskyy has already done this in https://github.com/wasm3/pywasm3 (not with the midisynth though, but the first gen pattern sequencer version. But he's also testing the midisynth).

So this is absolutely possible even today :)
